Senator Leila De Lima still can't believe the scenes slowly unfolding before her eyes.

The female senator is mourning over the fact that her personal and private life become the top subjects of ridicule both in the Congress and by the public.

“No woman, whoever or whatever she may be, whether a sitting senator or a humble secretary, deserves to be betrayed, to be treated with so much disrespect and without dignity, before the public eye, by any man she is with or had a relationship with,” the heartbroken De Lima said on Thursday evening.
